Men are getting molested

On the night of 31^st December 2006, a shocking event took place in Mumbai in a five-star Hotel. The Hotel was jam packed with enthusiastic people celebrating the much awaited event of the year. Booze was flowing like the river, cigarettes were polluting and girls were looking hot in their tiny little clothes. Everybody were jumping and screaming, and some were embracing each other in way that an elderly person will be embarrassed to watch it. And then the sensation of the event arrived. Yes, none another than Mallika Sherawat.

But before she arrived, a bunch of people were dancing on the stage on latest bollywood hit songs of the year. And out of the blue, a male dancer lost his maturity and the respect for women and pulled the slacks of another female dancer down. It was shocking. She pulled her slacks up and went back stage. The danced pressed on. How can a man dare to sexually humiliate a woman out in the audience? It is really appalling and against the culture of our country. Women should be respected. Her dignity and modesty should be respected.

What was your reaction after reading this incident? Were you shocked or you felt it was funny?

Actually this incident never happened. I was bluffing. However, I would like to draw your attention to an incident similar in nature.

Mallika Sherawat, in the middle of a dance, actually pulled a male-dancer’s pants down. Yes, she did that in front of the audience and other female dancers laughed at the helplessness of that male dancer as if a joke was cracked.  

Mallika molests a male dancer

Are you shocked? No? Why? Just because it is a man, everybody including any woman has the right to sexually molest and humiliate a man. Is this true? Don’t men have dignity? The audiences too weren’t shocked. Why? If it had happened to a woman, the cops would have arrested the man of offending the dignity and modesty of a woman. And when this unfortunate incident happens with a man, people laugh. If this is not gross insensitivity, then what is it? How can the organizer tolerate such an incident. Supposing this act was pre-planned, who was that person to plan such an act? He/she didn’t realize that men too have dignity and modesty, and that he has the right to protect himself from sexual molestation and humiliation. Is a man’s dignity a laughing stock? For a woman, it is.

Even in one episode of Mtv Roadies, a male contestant wearing only towel was attacked by a bunch of girls trying to pull his towel to see him naked in front of the camera. Who is the world will allow this to happen with a girl? But it is considered fun if it happens to a boy. Why? It seems along with women, men too enjoy watching another man being sexually molested or humiliated. Only a mentally ill man can enjoy other’s suffering, let alone the sadist women.

Just so you know, millions of people get inspired by bollywood, and there is every reason to believe that such appalling act will happen in our day-to-day life also. Mallika is already the favourite of many girls. Why do you think girls will not imitate this act? Boys will have to be careful wearing shorts as they can be sexually humiliated by any woman any moment. Already incest is rampant and sadly there is none to realize that now-a-days, boys are becoming more sexually vulnerable at homes. Recently, in a school in Mumbai, a lady teacher stripped three 6-year-old boys and paraded them in the school as a form of punishment. Still people do not realize that boys too have dignity and if they are sexually molested or humiliated, they do get emotionally traumatized.

A few months ago, I saw an unbelievable sight. A girl, 7, was playing with a boy, 5, in the building premises. The girl took the boy behind a tree and asked him to raise his both hands upward. The boy obliged. The girl instantly pulled his pants down and started laughing frenziedly pointing her finger toward his genital. The boy’s reaction was submissive and timid. He was hurt but couldn’t react. One other occasion, the same girl in the fit of rage, in the middle of a game, grabbed that same boy’s genitals and the boy started crying in pain. I repeat the girl is 7 years old and the boy is 5 years old. They are living in the same building on different floors. It is shocking that even after reading this, people still remain passive and refuse to react. They refuse to admit that boys are now becoming victims of sexual abuse in the hands of girls. How shameful!!

If we allow such appalling acts to continue, one needs to remember that there are absolutely no such laws in India that will give a man justice if he is sexually abused by a woman. Besides, when the society is so incredibly insensitive toward male gender, who will want to get more humiliated by the society by complaining of being sexually abused by a woman? The sexually abused man will have to keep mum only because there is none to support him. This is a new trend. Sexually humiliate men. And if we do not oppose now, tomorrow you will fear of going out of the house in this female dominated society. However, it also depends on people whether they consider sexual humiliation of men as women’s rights.
